My 9 month old pup peed and pooed on my bed the other day and today he peed on the bed in the spare room. Has anyone elses dogs done this, what causes it? is it a marking territory thing?

When I got Holly she peed a couple of times on the bed in the spare room and then on my bed. I just made sure the spare room was locked and only let her in my room after I was sure she'd already gone.
It took about a week of retraining and watching her outside but eventually it took and she hasn't gone indoors since. She was around 10 months when this happened. I think she just got complacent and was chancing her arm:confused:.
I wouldn't worry too much, just praise him/her like mad when he does go outside and i'm sure he'll get it.:-p Holly sleeps in my bed again and she's fine.
Good luck (and happy dry cleaning, those bills aren't fun).

I think with animals just like kids every mattess should be protected with a plastic pad--they are just like mattress pads and they are really cheap. I've gotten ours at walmart. I have a 3 year old grandson who I have watched since he was a couple weeks old and in my opinion one pee on a mattress and you might as well throw it away and mattresses are not cheap. Just an idea for all of us with babies.
